Beck Question

[333jeffery]

I'm curious about something: who are the people shown in the closing credits for Beck? I know that some are famous musicians, like Freddie Mercury and Bob Marley. But, who are the rest, J-rockers? Thanks...

... they're just music icons. not necessarily rockers. just musicians.

An odd thing I noticed: in the final episode, one of the bands plays a song that came from Fooly Cooly, except with lyrics this time. First time I've heard music from one anime show used in another anime...

Yup.
In Episode 23 IIRC, Rookie Jet by the pillows is played.
In the last eps, that band The Heroes plays Advice and Last Dinosaur, and Sawao does thevoice for the lead singer. ;)

Thanks KB, yep it was Last Dinosaur...

[kenshinbebop]

Great song.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... Last Dinosaur. oh man. love it. i remember when they played that in concert - they started off with some kind of adlib mellow riff. then BAM.

it was epic.

Well, I know a couple, like Joey Ramone, Sid Vicious, and Johnny Rotten, great ending anyway
